Place Winners in Photo Categories Are Considered for Photo of the Year PRESS RELEASE EMBARGO: June 2, 2017, 10 p.m. Georgia Press Association Contact: Sean Ireland 770-316-0944 [email protected] Georgia Press Association honors Better Newspaper Contest winners JEKYLL ISLAND, GA. - The Georgia Press Association honored the winners of the 2017 Freedom of Information Award and the 2017 Better Newspaper Contest on Friday at the Jekyll Island Club during the group's 131st annual convention. The Valdosta Daily Times won the prestigious Freedom of Information Award for doing the most during 2016 to uphold the principles of the First Amendment and to protect the public’s right to know. The Daily Times was honored specifically for its work getting its local hospital authority to comply with Georgia’s Open Meetings Act, even in the face of the hospital pulling its advertising and canceling subscriptions for its patients — a financial loss of more than $80,000 in a year. Despite the hospital’s actions, The Daily Times and its parent company, Community Newspaper Holdings Inc. (CNHI) of Montgomery, Ala., stood strong, continuing to write stories and editorials about the authority’s improperly held closed meetings, insufficient meeting minutes and failures to post accurate meeting times. Because of the attention brought by The Daily Times, Georgia’s attorney general fined the hospital authority and ordered board members to undergo open government training. It is the second straight year that The Valdosta Daily Times earned the Freedom of Information Award from Georgia Press Association. Judging for the award is done by The University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. Two young journalists were honored as winners of GPA’s Emerging Journalist Awards. Journalists younger than 30 with less than five years of experience writing professionally for a newspaper — one representing daily newspapers and representing weeklies — were honored for demonstrating excellence and maintaining high standards of quality and ethics. The daily newspaper winner was Brittini Ray of the Savannah Morning News. The weekly newspaper winner was Kathleen Sturgeon of the Forsyth Herald of Appen Media Group. Winners in the Georgia Press Association Better Newspaper Contest were honored for their outstanding achievements in newspaper journalism. Entries were judged in seven divisions based on circulation. The daily divisions are Division A (circulation of 18,000 or more), Division B (8,000 to 17,999) and Division C (circulation less than 8,000). Weekly divisions are Division D (circulation of 6,000 to 15,000), Division E (weeklies with circulation of 3,000 to 5,999), Division F (circulation less than 3,000) and Division G (all weekly newspapers of more than 15,000 in circulation and all associate media members of GPA). The photograph chosen as the Photo of the Year was taken by Josh Galemore of the Savannah Morning News. It depicts members of the Savannah Fire Dept. standing at attention at the casket of fellow firefighter. Galemore’s photo won the news photo award for Division A. All first-place winners in photo categories are considered for Photo of the Year. There were 559 awards presented in 37 categories to 73 newspapers.

    November 7, 2014 Laura Lovrien Liberty Publishers Services Orbital Publishing Group P.O. Box 2489 White City, OR 97503 Re: Cease and Desist Distribution of Deceptive Subscription Notices Dear Ms. Lovrien: The undersigned represent the Newspaper Association of America (“NAA”), a nonprofit organization that represents daily newspapers and their multiplatform businesses in the United States and Canada. It has come to our attention that companies operating under various names have been sending subscription renewal notices and new subscription offers to both subscribers and non-subscribers of various NAA member newspapers. These notices falsely imply that they are sent on behalf of a member newspaper and falsely represent that the consumer is obtaining a favorable price. In reality, these notices are not authorized by our member newspapers, and often quote prices that far exceed the actual subscription price. We understand that the companies sending these deceptive subscription renewal notices operate under many different names, but that many of them are subsidiaries or affiliates of Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group, Inc. We have sent this letter to this address because it is cited on many of the deceptive notices. Liberty Publishers Services, Orbital Publishing Group, and their corporate parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliated entities, distributors, assigns, licensees and the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing, including but not limited to the entities listed in Attachment A (collectively, “Liberty Publishers Services” and/or “Orbital Publishing Group”), are not authorized by us or any of our member newspapers to send these notices. Our member newspapers do not and have not enlisted Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group for this purpose and Liberty Publishers Services and Orbital Publishing Group are not authorized to hold themselves out in any way as agents who can process payments from consumers to purchase subscriptions to our member newspapers.

    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.

The Savannah Morning won the prestigious Freedom of Information Award for doing the most during 2017 to uphold the principles of the First Amendment and to protect the public’s right to know. The Morning News was honored specifically for its battle to get its local public hospital and public hospital authority to comply with Georgia’s Open Records Act. In a pending case, the Morning News sued Memorial University Medical Center for documents about the hospital’s proposed sale to one company, about its completed sale to another company, and for the legal bills paid by the hospital regarding the Open Records Act requests from the newspaper. Judging for the award was done by the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. “Public institutions must know that if they keep secrets, the local newspaper will battle them, in court. And that they won’t back down,” said the judge for the award. Two young journalists were honored as winners of GPA’s Emerging Journalist Awards. Journalists younger than 30 with less than five years of experience writing professionally for a newspaper — one from the state’s daily newspapers and one from the state’s weeklies — were honored for demonstrating excellence and maintaining high standards of quality and ethics.

The Postal Service Reform Act of 2017, HR 756, recently ordered reported by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee would do just that, and create a savings of $6.3 billion in the process, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Yet, the Postal Service teeters on the financial brink, threatening many of those jobs and the industry’s economic output. HR 756 would put the Postal Service on a firm path to financial stabilization and is a bipartisan- sponsored bill that enjoys broad bipartisan support. It was approved by OGR by voice on March 16. It has also managed the virtually unprecedented feat of uniting all of the Postal Service’s stakeholders – the mailing community, the postal unions, and the Service itself – in support.
